ACCORDING TO arrangements made
several month since, l sever my con-
nection with the DEMOCRAT with this
issue of the paper. am extremely
gratified that my adieu to the readers
of the paper is coupled with the pleas
decisive victory in the county. For
nearly two years l have labOred under
many adverse circumstances to estab-
lish democratic paper at this place.
And now after two successive victories
in which the paper has played an i'm
portant part, think | may, with mod
esty, say that it has become Il power
a bulwork of party strength which the
people will guard with jealous care. 1t
is also u source of qualification to me to
announce that the DEMOCRAT will still
continue to eXpound the party faith un-
der the able and prudent supervision
of MI. Stoke. And feel satisfied that
brighter and more prosperous career
awaits the sheet than ever before. To
the readers of the paper, many of
whom am proud to number as per-
sonal friends, | mnst explain that this
step of mine was rendered necessary
from business considerations, and not
by choice. l part company with the
readers of the paper regretfully. l re-
member with gratitude the encourage
ment which men of both parties have
given me and bespeak for the paper a
continuance of their kindly offices.
Whatever my failings as an editor may
have been, hope a generous public will
at least conclude that my purpose was
always to do good. have never con-
sciouslg upheld the bad and fought the
good for policy's sake. What con-

A new hustle has just come into

air escapes up her spine, loosens her

puzzled by the great demand for small coins,
especially fve~cent pieces. The great and
steady demand for one and 1ve-cent pieces
began, it appears, about year and a half
ago, and although the mint has night and
day force, which coin continuously, they are
about $200,0 behind their orders The
demand seems to come from every bank in
the country, and the total amount of orders
for one and fve-cent pieces every week
ranges from $4,000 to $1,000. While, as has
been ingeniously suggested, the increased de-
mend may be due to the boarding of small
coin by the juvenile portion of the popula-
ton throughout the country in anticipation
of the holidays, the large request for small
coins could be accounted for by the fact that
the West is settling down to a small-coin
basis. California wants fve-cent pieces.
Pennies and niekels are wanted in Arizona
and Dakota, and many other places in the
West, where formerly the population did not
deign to use coins less than ive-cent piece,
pennies are coming into requisition.

MUST NOT BE roo FRRE.

Free speech and free action are fine things
when they do not interfere with the right of
anybody to pursue life, liberty and happi-
ness. But there has been in this country
during the last ten years kind of free speech
gether too free. And how to deal with it is
a question which is generally discussed. It
is felt, as the New York Times puts it, that
the Anarchists stand different footing
from any class that we have heretofore had
to deal with in this country. Their attitude
is not that of social reform or the advocacy
of new doctrines. They have placed them
selves in direct hostility to the institutions
and laws of the country and advocate vio-
lent resistance to authority and the destruc-
ton by force of the agencies employed to en-
force its mandates. They thereby place
themselves outside the law and have no aims
or purposes which the State is bound to pro-
tect. 1t protecting itself it is compelled to
regard them as public enemies.
Before another year has gone undoubtedly
this feeling will find expression in law in
many of the States. It has already done go
in Illinois. At the last session of the legisla-
ture there an act was passed which defines
the responsibility for originating public dis
turbances. Its chief points are as follows ::
If any person shall, by speaking to any pub
lie or private assemblage of people, or in any
public place, advise, encourage,
abet or incite * = resistance to
the lawful power of the legal authorities of
this State, or any of the towns, cities, or
counties of this State, \ or shall
advise, abet, encourage, or incite the disturb
ance of the public peace, and by such dis
ance attempt at resistance to such
authorities shall thereafter ensue, and human
life is taken or any person is injured, or
property is destroyed by any person or by
any of the means employed to carry into
effect the purpose SO advised, encouraged,
aided, abetted or incited, \ every
person 60 aiding, advising, encouraging,
abetting or melting the same shall be deemed
as having conspired with the person or per-
sons who actually commit the crime, and
shall be deemed principal in the perpesra-
ton of the same, and shall be punished
accordingly.
This is not going too far. It will teach the
bloodthirsty howlers Of Chicago to be more
guarded in their utterances than they have
been.

The chrIstfan school Teacher,

FK.I
The school teacher may not be authorized
to give religious instruction in the school,
but he can do much by the influence of
religious life to commend religion to the
scholars of tender years placed under him.
Few parents realize how much they owe to
teachers of pronounced Christian character
who have had charge of the instruction of
their children. Not that all teachers are of
this kind; but thousands are, and they are
silently supplementing their faithful teaching
in secular studies, by imparting those 1essonsof
a consecrated life and radiant example which
once learned are treasured for ell eternity.
The parent should so far as possible cultivate
the friendly acquaintance of the teacher, and
SO give evidence that the interest is not all on
one side If all the teachers Wsre Christian
teachers of approved character, the good
they would do would be inestimable an
their existence for good would be irresist IDLY

Useful Girls.
I do not hesitate to say that there is one
noteworthy and valuable respect in which
believe English girls are superior to Ameri-
can girls, says a writer in tho Epoch. That
respect is their ability to conduct the affairs
OF their homes. This, of course, is not an
inherited ability, but is the result of training
and practice. 1 am not considering the
daughters of farmers, but those of mercan-
tile and professional men. In England, the
custom is to train girls to relieve their moth
ers of many of the duties of housekeeping.
Among the families whsre there are several
daughters, it is common practice to have each
in turn take charge of ths house for a week
or month. l do not assert that such plan
is never followed here, but at the most it is
done with comparative infrequency. The
system of living in boarding houses has in
maRy instances made it impossible to instruct
our city bred girls in domestic duties, but
happily the increased facilities for suburban
travel have placed it within the power of
many heads of families to secure homes of
their own.
In England, no matter how wealthy tbs
parents, the custom of giving the daughters
domestic training is usually observed. A re-
Gently published ''Life of Queen Victoria"
states that after the estate of Osborne had
been bought, "the lower portion of the
Swiss cottage was fitted up as kitchen for
the young princesses, with pantry, closets,
dairy and larder, all as complete as possible,
and here these juvenile royal highnesses,
dressed la ouisiniere and with arms white
with -four, learned to make cakes and darts
and all sorts of plain dishes, to cook the veg
etables which they had themselves cultivated,
to preserve fruit, and to prepare different
sorts of pickles. In fact, they were trained
to be good English housewives. !" The example
set by the Queen has permeated all the higher

WINTER COATS.

So much coat was never before obtainsbIe
for so little money, and, further, the art of
making coats has reached an extraordinary
development. When men who formerly
bought only of custom tailors now buy of
US we think, naturally, that our ready made
coats and suits have come up to the highest
standard.
FOR PORTLY MEN. An idea of our own!
They are cut with definite purpose other
than the making of big coat. The sleeves
are just right, the right size across shoulders;
in short, they are large only where they need
to be large. They are handsomely made and
! finished in Brown Kerseys Beavers, Chin
chillas and Elysians. No other house in the
| country provides this style of coat. The
prices are SIS, s18, $50 and s25.
KERSEY BROWN The Globe Kerseys
are at the front to-day. Fast color, satin
| and fine wool lining giving a rich appear
| ance when the throat is thrown open) satin
| sleeve lining, and silk velvet collar. They
have shaped backs, and are made to fit. Ex-
| traordinary care in finish. Price $50, $22
| and $25.
REFER s.
The handy, free, out-of-the-wsy coat. Just
| the thing for active men who walk, and who
| hustle lively in snug weather. Sensible,
economical for men, young men and boys.
And we make them in style, SO that some
| very particular young men delight in them.
To suit any taste, and any purse, long or
short. Lined with flannel, or cashmere, or
lasting, or serge with stitched edges, or
bound edges, or with welt seams, or double
seams, with velvet collars. Vests to match.
Good idea! A REFER takes the place of both
inside and outside coat. Blue Chinchillas
for all. Prices, $3.50, $3.50, $3.50, $40,
$3.50, $165O.
ULSTERS.
A big bluff ulster for $3.50. It makes
man walking furnace, furnishing heat for
his own good comfort. Barn-door collars
that shut out the storm and defy all wind
and snow. The ulster is double breast, has
